Very un-Cal-Look, oops, oh well!
I've always hated these things, but might be slowly coming around...........mesh visors.
This one though, was removed from a completely dry, mostly rust free, early-60s Beetle I was led to stashed away in a shed, it was parked there in 1982.
Interesting dust layer, and this is after being bounced around in the boot over dirt roads, and also after being waved around to get rid of a lot of dust.
There are still bits and pieces of treasure out there to find.........

NOT the pomona swap but the craigslist ad...I just had surgery so no show's for johnny but saw the c/l ad for VW wheels & parts $30.00 for all of it. Obviously just looking at the 2 rare 15x5.5 ET wheels it was a no brainer. My son picked up the stuff and the guy gave him a bucket full of brake parts and a couple of drums. When My son came home I was stoked but almost passed out when he dumped the bucket and under all the brake parts were 2 rare nokof rudge spinners

I've never been too fond of the Coach wheels from the 70's, but I was able to talk the owner down to $10 (from the $25 he wanted) by offering to exchange the coach wheel for an old crusty stock wheel I had laying around (so he could still drive the car).....plus I did the R&R labor for him. The chrome cleaned up nearly flawless, but the horn button and plastic housing that the horn button snap into are a little scratched and warped from the heat of the sun. Too bad the wood grain is completely worn through too. Plastic spoke covers are intact though and not damaged. I thought about doing some minimal filing/grinding on the 12 o'clock crack, filling it with epoxy, and brush painting the repair area as narrow and unnoticeable as possible. I need to see about finding a replacement horn button and the plastic part below it first, then decide if I like it enough to install in my car. Still a cool vintage find regardless.

Nice swap! I once traded a guy a stock shifter straight across for his EMPI Eliminator. It was his idea!
I was never a fan of those wheels either, until I saw (and later bought it) one restored in black. It completely changes the look of the wheel

Haha, that's a sweet deal! The funny part is my stock steering wheel that I traded him was really messed up. Before I got my repo flat 4 wooden wheel years ago, I had a really nice original wheel that I had polished out and installed a new horn button and chrome half ring on (before the aftermarket stock wheels were out being produced), but my dad wanted to use it in his restored car so I gave it to him and installed the messed up wheel with a half-assed "restoration" (term used LOOSELY here!) done to it.....which included super gluing the cracks, sanding the super glue down, and then spray painting the wheel satin black. The cracked horn button was painted that color too, and the broken portion of the horn ring was ground down flush and painted aluminum color (to look like it was supposed to be just the straight bar going across the spokes).
I'm pretty sure that was one of my worst "hack" jobs ever ($3 super glue + $1.99 "Do-it-rite" hardware store brand spray can = Restoration
). He thought it was professionally restored, and I forgot to stop and correct him on that.
I always like that feeling when you score big and the other person thinks they're screwing you over royally.
I thought about doing a proper restoration on this wheel and either painting the rim black as you mentioned, or painting it the color of the interior (grey), or the color I'd like the interior to be (red). Another horn button would look better too, preferably not a coach button. I'm still laughing at him for calling the coach wheel a "off road dune buggy" steering wheel. He must know some guys with
really
nice dune buggies!
